Bastard Chairs
“The hybrid, vernacular seats seen in Hong Kong’s backstreets and in mainland China are known as ‘Bastard Chairs’. These improvised seats have been assembled and repaired by local residents using whatever materials were available. There are plastic backs grafted onto wooden stools, and metal legs bolted into mismatched frames.
German photojournalist Michael Wolf (1954-2019) spotted them.”

VW Frankencopter
From the comments section:
“I had hoped to see a video of this copter in flight. Alas, it’s never going to fly! Here’s more info I located on Instagram:
Aircraft maintenance expert Chuck Jurgen Teschke from Alberta, Canada, is creating a unique hybrid by combining a classic VW T1 Bus with parts from an Airbus H125 helicopter. This project, known as the ‘Frankencopter,’ is a static art installation designed to resemble a helicopter, though it is not intended to fly. The build features a modified VW Bus shell integrated with helicopter components, including landing skids and a tail boom, resulting in a striking visual piece that blends automotive and aviation elements.”
